The San Francisco 49ers are a young team with lots of upside. Head coach Mike Singletary and his "I want winners" mentality seems to be working.
The 49ers gave the Minnesota Vikings all they could take - it took a Favre miracle pass for the Vikings to win. RB Frank Gore has the potential for another 1,600 yard season and QB Shaun Hill is getting better by the game.
The defense is led by Patrick Willis; the 49ers defense has held its competition to just 26 total points in each of the team's first two games. He has enough help around him to make it very difficult for teams to get in the end zone.
The Seattle Seahawks aren't what the use to be, the St. Louis Rams could possibly be the worst team in the NFL and the Arizona Cardinals haven't been on the same page all season long. The 49ers might not be the front-runners in the NFC, but if they keep moving in the direction Coach Singletary is taking them they will be the favorites one day.
QB Shaun Hill won't dazzle you with eye popping statistics but he won't make many mistakes either. Hill is completing over 60% of his throws and has a good QB rating.
RB Frank Gore is one of the best running backs in the NFL. Gores' best season was in 06' when Gore started every game, ran for over 1.600 yards and scored 8 touchdowns.
After that win at Arizona and another impressive win in week 2 against the visiting Seattle Seahawks, things are looking up for the San Francisco 49ers, and they're surprisingly leading the NFC West division after two weeks of football.
For this to happen, additional playmakers on the offense might be needed, but what team in the NFL can't use more offensive weapons? At least they have Crabtree in the works. He can be the big time player they need out wide. - 30542
